Everything happens for a reason

This is one of the Great Buddhist belief , there is a reason or cause for everything. My brother in law, Ed called just now and he told me that he got into a nasty accident when he was at the gym. He forgot to lock the weight and the whole weight fell on to his leg and he suffered six stitches to sew up his wound by a Doctor. So, the cause is his forgetfulness and the result is his injury. He told me that he look at life differently now and he is more restful and peaceful after the ordeal.

Yes, it is very true. If we sow a apple seed, the final result is an apple tree if you water and take care of it well. It will never be an orange tree if you sow an apple seed. If we apply the same concept to the law of karma , we will understand that if we do good deeds, only good things will happen to us. Maybe, it is not immediate but it will come back with good luck. However, if you have misdeeds, then these good deeds will help you to redeem your negative points.

As for relationships, everything happens for a reason. Sometimes, two strangers just know each other and for a long time, nothing happens and suddenly, something drastic happen or a difficult task which both needs to resolve together, this would trigger an appreciation for each other and a strong friendship could develop from that point. The relationship could develop further or could just die off over time. It could be just a strong bond without attachment but just pure appreciation and plutonic in nature.

Can we believe a plutonic relationship without attachment ? It depends on the people involved in such relationships. If they are mature and of right thinking mind, such relationship remained pure and pure out of great passion and appreciation for a living being. It is not necessary to be lovers but admiration and care for each other. The line separating the loving desire and admiration should be remained clear and bold. Once, the border have been breached , the whole dam would collapse. The holding back of each other’s desire to love is a big challenge.

To all those people in this situation, holding back the cravings and sexual desires could energize your mind and yourself to be wiser while breaching the line could be disastrous.

Namaste.
